Whacking the Optra 1.6L

work and back is less than 12km a day, I need to take the car out during
the weekend just to blow out any carbon deposits in the engine, plus to
charge the battery back.
So today, I whacked one surprised Waja, one City VTEC and a souped up
Satria around the Besraya highway. The wife's Optra it seemed had gained
some more power, most probably because the engine has nicely settled in.
Around the corners, I think there is work to be done for its tail as it
feels a bit light, especially when i brake deep into the corners. Left
foot braking helps to ensure the car does not understeer.
I just installed the MagSaver-R fuel saving device. I can see that it has
double the magnet size and strength of the previous EPS that i used (but i
dunno whether is this good or not). So I took out the EPS and installed
the MagSaver-R. Will be testing and checking the fuel consumption now.
Hoefully there will be some improvement. The owner of the device is so
sure that it will work. Well, he sold 15k units since he started it late
last year. I hope he is right lah.

RM199.
Give me a week to test it out. If its good, we ask the agent to swing by
our TT and we buy it from him lah.
Anyway, i am not really feeling quite well today. Body aches like nobody;s
business.
The worse part is i got a 525i Sports park in the garage. Bugger....

i even heard my fren claims that he can speed up to 240km/h where the
speedometer unable to measure...
anyway, i didnt response to it since i treat it as Joke of the Day as
he's waiting me to PEPSI (Ask For More). Coz i just cool off and no
surprise at all made him silent!
Later that day seen a car news info on Subaru Imprezza, which claimed can
reached 245km/h. So, is this mean Waja equivalent to Imprezza, crazy fren
i had!
he's driving Stock Waja manual, absolutely no modification made.
